Note: This was one of six lithographs from From the Metropolitan Opera Fine Art II Portfolio in 1984. Lulu was the main character of the Alban Berg Opera and she was known for seducing all the men in her life and breaking their hearts. Even though this painting has simple lines in most of the painting it still expresses strong emotions. The character of Lulu has been described as embodying both elements of female sexuality’s dualism, Mother Earth and  and whore. In the words of Karl Kraus , she is the woman “who became the destroyer of all because everyone destroyed her”.
